Intent<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

At Linby cum Papplewick C of E Primary School, the ability to read and the nurture of a love of reading is a high priority and we work closely with parents to achieve this. We know that reading is a lifelong skill that unlocks all learning. Our aim is for all pupils to leave our school being able to read fluently and have a love of reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reading with your child daily is the single most important thing you can do to support your child\u2019s academic progress. Reading quality fiction also impacts their social and emotional development giving you opportunities to discuss many day-to-day issues they will meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementation<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Phonics<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Linby-cum-Papplewick CofE Primary School, children\u2019s initial route into early reading is through the teaching of systematic, synthetic phonics. We are a member of Little Wandle Phonics and early reading throughout the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children in Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 follow the synthetic phonics approach, using the Letters and Sounds programme. It is an approach in which the children are taught about the relationship between letters (graphemes) and the sounds they make (phonemes) and how the 44 sounds in the English language can be combined to create different words. This provides the children with the foundation to be able to blend the sounds together in order to read the words and segment words into their sound parts to be able to spell them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sounds the children are taught are matched to their independent reading books which allows them to practise these skills at home and at school and over time ensure they become much more fluent word readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please follow the links below for further information on the Little Wandle Programme and to watch videos that show how different sounds are taught. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whole-class Reading<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Whole-class reading starts in Year 2 and continues all the way up to Year 6 using the Schofield and Sims Complete Comprehension scheme of work. Guided Reading sessions are delivered daily with a whole class approach. The scheme covers a wide variety of fiction, non-fiction and poetry texts, with the aim to develop the children\u2019s vocabulary, inference and deduction, prediction, explanation (of authorial intent or impact on the reader), retrieval, summarising and sequencing skills. The scheme is supplemented with texts selected from each year group\u2019s bespoke reading spine, which are linked to topics being covered that half term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every child at Linby cum Papplewick Primary School has a reading record and an individual scheme reading book that links directly to their current phonetical knowledge. Children are also given the opportunity to take home an additional \u2018reading for pleasure\u2019 book, which they select themselves, with the view that this can be shared with an adult at home for enjoyment. We encourage all children and parents to read at home and for parents to log their practise within their reading records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We consider reading to be the foundation on which the rest of the curriculum is built; children learn to read so they can read to learn. Each year group has a bespoke reading spine, full of carefully selected and culturally diverse texts linked to their learning across the curriculum that half term. The texts inspire and support the children in their wider learning and allow for opportunities for children to deepen their knowledge of a particular topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
